It will be an interesting commute this morning. One hell of a gale blowing in East England.
Rather unsurprisingly it’s come to nothing here.
SFA up here in North Yorkshire. After the forecasts yesterday morning, I was expecting trampoline-a-geddon. Unusual for them to get the track wrong so close to the event.
It's as windy here in Norfolk as Windy.com said it would be i.e. blowing a hoolie in the old nautical vernacular 😯
Blew my bedroom window open at 4am and woke me up!
blew next doors fence down. gusted to 74 mph here
Went to station, saw trains cancelled, came back home.
It’s just wet and a bit cold here in Macclesfield. So business as usual. No snowmaggedon. I think really windy is the only weather type I don’t like cycling in.
Two trees, four candles and some hoes, no o’s on the line. No trains
30m drive to other line. Took three others. None offered to contribute to parking at new station which was a bit ungrateful
Standing room only. The joy of commuting.
Fence is gone, lazy buggers wheelie bins are all over the place, further a field roads closed, trees down.
Which lines are shut? My missus is currently heading towards that London from Leeds (or not.)
Just spoke to the missus in Halesworh, (I am currently in a scorching hot South Africa) blown the roof off of the shed, and gate off it hinges.
Is that the landlords responsibility to repair, or ours?

Blowing a gale here in the Sarf Coast.
Even though we had "don't drive after 9pm" warnings, been nothing here in Edinburgh.
Leisurely cycle to uni today.
Nice up Arthur's Seat yesterday though.

55-60mph on the coast, normal westerly front coming through then.
Had to get up at 4am and move a wheelbarrow. WindyMcWindface in Warwickshire.
Eerily still at 6am though.
A good day for fence panel sellers in Milton Keynes
Bins all over the place here
A bit rainy but generally calm and quite warm here in Auckland
4 trees down at various points on my drive in this morning so must have been windy overnight, fortunately I slept like a log and heard nothing 😀
Couple of trees down on my way into Cambridge, but nice tail wind for me on the bike. Hope it drops before home time.
Judging by the noise at night in our pretty well sound-insulated house, one of the most sustained windy nights I can remember since living here.
About an inch of snow in the North Tyne Valley ..0c.and the snow is crunchy .
Nowhere near the 5-6" forecast and no wind to speak of ..
Blowing a gale here in the early hours, now almost dead calm and blue skies.
Up by 4am because the wind was so loud. I was awake anyway but then our daughter woke up too, so we were downstairs with a cuppa by about 4:30.
Lots of wheelie bin carnage down are road and plenty of routes are truck because of trees down.
I'm on a first aid course in Peterborough today and sailed in (not literally). So early in fact I have treated myself to a McDs brekkie...
I'll be making a trip to Wickes later for some new shed roof felt and some stronger tacks.
Ample reward Stumpy.. 😀
It's as windy here in Norfolk as Windy.com said it would be
Yeah, but Notwindy.com said it wouldn’t be.
So how are we supposed to know.
Kept me up at night with all the noise went on for hours and my wheelie bin was blown over... That must be some kind of universal measurement for ****ing windy
Some trees down around Mansfield blocking roads apparently.
Might be deliberate, mind, to keep them up there.
I'm in West Norfolk and we've had 9 trees down just in my village, route to work in Norwich was interesting with 30 metre long taking up the first lane of the A47, but all i can think is...woodstore will be restocked at weekend!
South Norfolk, apparently lines and trees down everywhere. I've been busying sorting my own stuff out, rabbit hutch over 3 rabbits running about scared in their pen. Fence panels started to get a bit wobbly so all fixed, trim off conservatory secured back on. Might now go to work and sort everybody else's problems out.
Trees on the line. Trains cancelled. Back to bed for a commute's worth of sleep. WFH.
A self-proclaimed amateur meteorologist on Mumsnet predicted it on Sunday evening, whilst the Beeb didn't see it coming at all.
I let the dog out at 4am, had to lean on the door to close it, bit like a wind powered poltergeist pushing on it from the other side.
Just checked outside and one of our pots has blown over. #staystrong

I don't claim to be even an amateur meteorologist, but if you can follow a synoptic map and use some common sense then you can often get a far better weather forecast than the BBC provides.
#thoughtsandprayers to all the wheelie bin owners out there.
we had bin day yesterday so all the bins were empty = more bin carnage but less rubbish strewn.
And there's a lone wolf on the loose in Berkshire. 😯 Didn't bother him!
No wind in Bradford but horrendous black ice everywhere. Cars crashing all over.
For the 2nd time this week a 15 minute journey took 2hrs
I was up at a high school event in Alloa last night, got a "LEAVE NOW OR YOU WILL DIE" message from the boss, drove back on the deserted motorway with all the big signs saying DO NOT TRAVEL BY ROAD AFTER 9PM.
It rained a bit.
The Hague is at a standstill:
All public transport stopped until the storm is over.
[u]Day 1: Humanity is on the brink:[/u]
I was woken up in the middle of the night by the sounds of someone's recycling bin going flying. I guessed it was the recycling bin by the sound of smashing glass bottles.
All the bins were over when I looked this morning, other than mine, which were still upright.
I've now armed myself and taken to the road to try and find the last dregs of humanity.
I'm in West Norfolk and we've had 9 trees down just in my village, route to work in Norwich was interesting with 30 metre long PIG SHACK* taking up the first lane of the A47, but all i can think is...woodstore will be restocked at weekend!
*Saw that in EDP on-line.
5am seemed to be the peak in West Norfolk.

Yeah, but Notwindy.com said it wouldn’t be.So how are we supposed to know.
Errr... get the app? Learn how to read a meteorological chart? And don't use notwindy.com, obvs 😀
Just had power restored and the uk power networks chaps said there were 72,000 homes without power in the local area, which must be pretty much all of them!
'''Tis all calm now 🙂
Pretty bad in Amsterdam too.

I looked at the BBC weather app on Sunday or Monday and saw the forecasts for 45mph+ winds last night/this morning, so they did see it coming, and because of them I did too.
Yeah the beeb were banging on about it most of Sunday.
Eeek.
😯
I used to live in Wellington and that sort of landing wasn’t particularly abnormal which is a bit worrying !
